In painting, tension is created by interaction of the images with the picture\u2019s rectangular edges. For many years I couldn\u2019t understand sculpture: what does one work with in the absence of edges? It was only when I saw Michelangelo\u2019s sculptures in Capella Medici that I understood: the relationship is created between, say, shoulders and pelvis, or, in busts, between head and shoulders. I make a clay bust and then proceed to bend and twist its head until I find an interesting angle of the neck. Sometimes the neck cracks in the process and needs to be repaired or replaced. The resulting sculpture has a different expression from different sides. Viewers walk around the bust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
